Inspiring thread - Each piece of wood is different and unique - I love all of the jaw-dropping photos. Nature is and should be a big part of basses - letting the natural look of the wood grain shining through is what always kills me.

Thanks to all for taking the time to post!

What kind of wood is the top? Reminds me of lacewood but not quite.

You're right, it is lacewood.
